No such thing as bad publicity

Before I left for Edinburgh on Tuesday I did a 15-minute radio interview for TalkSPORT to promote the cricket show. I almost never listen to commercial radio so was totally unaware of the programme in question. I had no sense whatsoever of their editorial viewpoint which regularly veers off sport to a default stance of extreme reactionary politics (Lock 'em up or send 'em 'ome. Better yet, 'ang 'em).

At yesterday's show a punter said that he had come to see us after hearing me on his favourite radio show, whose politics he agreed with wholeheartedly. As he represented a full third of the audience I decided to just get on with having fun at Andrew's expense.
